Carrier and arrival route Conditions to check

Stay and visa validity Confirmed for this scope

Official sources: Government of Canada.

What Canada says

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you enter Cambodia, and for 6 months beyond any extension. Make sure officials stamp your passport on arrival, and keep your visa, entry information and QR-code visa sticker with you at all times. Photos are not needed for a visa on arrival.

A visa issued outside Cambodia has an expiry date that is the last day you can use it to enter, not the length of your stay. Stays of more than 30 days need a renewal, allowed only once. There is a daily fine with no limit for overstaying, and an overstay of more than 30 days means you must leave as well as pay. Check that your accommodation has registered you on the FPCS system, or you may be refused an extension.

Apply on Cambodia's official e-Visa site

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation runs the e-Visa at evisa.gov.kh and in its official app. The tourist e-Visa (Visa T) is single entry, valid for 3 months from issue for a stay of 1 month. You need a passport with more than 6 months of validity at entry, a digital photo and a Visa or Mastercard card. Approval normally takes 3 business days, and you show the e-Visa certificate to immigration when you arrive.

Submitting an application is not approval: the Ministry can ask for more documents, refuse a visa, or cancel one issued on false information. Processing times are estimates, and fees are not refunded once processing has started.

Where the e-Visa is accepted

The e-Visa site lists the airports that accept it: Techo International (Phnom Penh), Siem Reap Angkor International and Sihanoukville International. Its land checkpoints are Bavet and Tropaeng Kreal. It lists Cham Yeam and Poipet as temporarily closed for e-Visa entry, so check the current list before you plan an overland arrival.

Official sources: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia (evisa.gov.kh).

The e-Arrival form

Every traveler fills in the Cambodia e-Arrival, even with a visa. It is free. The General Department of Immigration says you can submit it within 7 days before arrival or on arrival, and the e-Visa site recommends doing it online in advance to avoid waiting at the immigration counter.
